Today, Micaela has two large bites on her arms, not sure how she got them, but they are itching her a lot. I hope that the anti itch cream helps. Today we get to see the city wall of Xian, it is around 30 feet tall and goes around the old city. The wall is large enough to drive cars on and you can rent bicycles and ride around. We will not take the time to do that, but it sounds like fun. Then we will eat lunch and go to the airport to take our next flight to Nanning to see Levi. Tomorrow we will get Levi and have him with us the rest of our lives. This is a great day. At breakfast this morning, Micaela saw a birdie in the hotel and was so excited. She was screeching at the top of her lungs and laughing at the birdie, then all of a sudden she said Birdie and laughed again. She is so funny. She and daddy are cutting fingernails at this moment. The city is sunny and hazzy today. The temps have not been bad, yet!!! We are packing and trying to get her to take a nap before we go to the wall. She had a meltdown yesterday. She stays up so long and will not take a nap and then she just gets so tired she seems like she cannot go to sleep. Then she crashes and sleeps for four hours or more. She has not gotten her schedule really changed around yet, it seems like she stays up until she cannot stay awake anymore. Otherwise she is in a good mood and plays and enjoys us a lot. Well, off we go to see Levi tomorrow. Be praying that he is receptive to us and that he will grieve, but recover well. Bye from Xian, China.
